Good teachers should be retained
in the schools year after year, even at
considerably increased pay, for a real
ly competent, worthy teacher is never
dear atany national figure, but poor,
unworthy one is dear at any price.
Teachers, qualify yourselves thor
oughly for the work, and then de
mand Il living compensation for your
services. Our people are able and
willing to pay fairly for good work.
The great wonder to me is they will
pay anything ror the work that they
sometimes get The teacher, to be
valuable to Il district, must be a per
son of broad and liberal culture, cX-
tended knowledge anu general intelli-
gcnce, able to converse on and give
information in regard to the current
topics of the day, be capable of ad-

tered for the public good and not for the
enrichment OF individuals
4 well-considered and feasible policy
OF Improvement works should be adopted
and adhered 10.
The United States being the natural
market for Hawaiian products, public
policy should be directed toward strength
ening existing political and commercial
relations with that country.
Honolulu should be proclaimed free
port, and increased facilities provided for
the repair Of shipping and the handling
Of merchandise.
steamship and cable communication
with the Pacific Coast and Australia
should be encouraged.
Sugar being the staple product OF the
country, those engaged in its production
are entitled to have their interests studied
by the Government.
The public debt should not be in
creased. There is ample reyenue-if an
honest accounting were made Of receipts
to pay interest on loan, defray reason
able expenses Of Government, and carry
out a progressive system OF public works.
The public school system should be
sustained and improved. Hawaiian
children should be taught exclusively in
English to equip them for the duties Of
life. instruction in English alone should
be similarly given to children Of foreign
parentage.
The sanitation. Hitting and improve
ment of the city III Honolulu are matters
OF paramount importance.
A policy OF interior development, by
means Of highways, etc, will be advo-
Gated In brief, all matters and things
tending to the benefit of the country, and
to the promotion OF peace, order and
good government, will have an advocate
and exponent in the PAcIFIC COMMERCIAL

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.

The PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER
having been purchased by the under
signed, it will hencefOrward be con-
Quoted as an Independent newspaper, in
the interest of law and order.
Its columns will always be open to
the public for reasonable presentation
of grievances, and the Independent ex-
preston of thought and opinion.
1t will endeavor to get at facts Of a
public nature and present them regard
less OF consequences.
Faction, however powerful, or usurpa-
ton however. successful, shall receive
no quarter.
It will uphold the Constitution and
laws of the Kingdom, and advocate
equal civil rights for native and foreign
born subjects.
Glass legislation and unequal repre-
sentation will be opposed as wrong in
principle and contrary to the progressive
spirit of the age.
Manhood suffrage, with residence,
should be the basis OF the franchise, as
in the United States. Property qualiti-
cation should be abolished.
Ofice-holders and Government con-
tractors should not be eligible for
nomination or election to the Legisla-
ture.
Members of the Legislature should
be debarred from accepting any
office of honor, trust or emolument under
the Government for a period of twelve
months after the expiration of the Legis-
lative term to which such members were
elected
Ministers should be held responsible
for all appropriations, and no money /
vote should pass without Ministerial APP
proval.
Reduction of taxation and economy /
in expenditure are essential to the pro-
gress and prosperity of the country. To .
that end a reorganization OF the Depart
ments is necessary.
Personal fitness and a good reputation
should be the only requisites for official
appointments. This implies a thorough
overhaul OF the civil service.
The military should be subject to the
civil power.
The independence and integrity OF the
Bench must be upheld. A corrupt or
partial judiciary is a curse to any
Encouragement should be given 10
